Chapter # 3: Suguru's Cousin
I walked with Hiro across the street.
"I don't even know this guy," I said while munching on a piece of strawberry pocky. Hiro did the casual 'snap-off-the-end-of-MY-pocky' trick and stuck it to hang out of his mouth like mine did. I sideways glanced him to warn him that one of these days I was gonna smack him for doing that. He just grinned as if trying to say, 'like you'll be able to reach my face.' I growled knowing that look all to well and I couldn't blame him for using it. I was a full head shorter then him. I was a full head shorter then a lot of people…Except Suguru.
My red headed friend smirked,
"So, he called you cute?"
"Hai. And he said it was my eyes…Guess he's not really that used to violet eyes."
"Guess not." Hiro stated finishing off the rest of his bit of pocky. We walked up to Suguru's doorstep. Hiro knocked. It was his boyfriends house afterall.
The door opened and we were greeted by a blonde male, with green eyes. He studied us a moment and then backed into the house, stepping aside slightly,
"Come on in. I'll get him."
We stepped into the house and waited as the male went to the stairs.
"Suguru!"
"Yeah!"
"Guess what."
"What?"
He looked to Hiro and mouthed,
'Say something.'
"Oh Suguru!" He called.
"HIRO!" Suguru was down the stairs faster then we thought possible. He wrapped his arms around Hiro's neck.
"HIRO, YOU'RE HERE!"
"Uhm…I know that…" he said with a laugh.
Suguru smiled and released him and looked at me,
"Hey Shuichi!"
"Hi Suguru."
"Oh, right! Shuichi, Hiro…This is my cousin Tohma!" He pulled the blonde male up next to him as if we had never seen the guy before in our lives. Even though, he'd been the one to answer the door.
"Hey, sorry for not introducing myself…I usually don't though, not if I'm coming here…Suguru likes to do it for me," he said with a smile.
"Oh so you're the guy that told Shu he was--"
"HIRO!" I announced jabbing him in the ribs. I hoped I broke one. I could feel the pink on my cheeks. Tohma laughed,
"Yes, that's me."
"Well, come on in you two. And we can all hang out for a while," Suguru offered.
Tohma closed the door and I swallowed hard. I didn't like the idea of being around Tohma, especially if Suguru and Hiro were gonna be all cuddly. I mean, Hiro's sixteen too…I have no trouble with him, but that's 'cause he's been my friend for so long.
My cellphone rang and I answered it without a second thought.
"Hello?"
"Hey Shuichi…It's mom…"
"Hi mom…What's up?"
"Hunny…It happened…Again…"
The phone dropped from my hand and onto the floor. I fell to my knees.
